Cinematic skipping problem.

[Paku]

I got a problem when i make a trigger to skip the cinematic. The cinematic mode turns off but the transmissions from units still keep coming. But i dont see the text. Hope you can help me.

It all depends on how you triggered the cinematic and how you try to skip the cinematic.

I think he used this trigger

• Cinematic Skip
• Events
• Player - Player 1 skips a cinematic sequence
• Conditions
• Actions
• Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode off for player 1

I think thats why.

 

[Avator]

Isn't that event just 'A player presses Esc'? In that case of he only turned off cinematic mode, he should turn off the trigger with the cinematic and set all info to the info as it is in the end of the cinematic.

You should stop the trigger that does the transmissions,,
I dont know if there is any way to stop just one trigger, but you should not only turn it off,,
@ Avator,, the event is right,, it is the same, but they called it something else,,
If you select the event, it says on the bottom of the selection screen that it runs when 'escape' is clicked, also if cinematic is off,,

Oh, I remember!

Skip remaining actions

That's the name of the command to stop the cinematic completely. Just restore everything to the correct info as if the cinematic never were skipped.

Hmm, It's 100% not avaible on GUI, and I didn't find it in Jass.
What event can I use instead of skipping cinematic to detect Esc press?
Is it function like functions for arrow keys?

bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS, bj_KEYEVENTKEY_LEFT
bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS, bj_KEYEVENTKEY_RIGHT
bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS, bj_KEYEVENTKEY_DOWN
bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS, bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP

Skip remaining actions

Yes,

• Skip remaining actions

is just

return

It skips all remaining action of trigger.

 

[Avator]

No, the arrows are in GUI under Player - Keyboard Selection or something like that. The Esc pressing event is another one. Since it's in GUI, there's a JASS version of it when you convert to JASS.

The Esc Event in jass is EVENT_PLAYER_END_CINEMATIC


Anyhow, like stated above, have a secondary trigger which checks if the cinematic sequence if skipped. Then, set a boolean variable to true, like

• Set IsCinematicSkipped = true

(remember to make it initially set to false)

As far as I have seen in the Blizzard cinematics, they check with an if condition every now and then, if the boolean is true.
Like:

• If (IsCinematicSkipped Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)

However, those Do Nothing really sucks, so the following should be made instead.

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • IsCinematicSkipped Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Skip remaining actions
  • Else - Actions
